Very quickly so people can think about it (while I iron & pack).

ppp opens a control channel (port or whatever) but doesn't add any devices
by default.


pppcontrol (or whatever we call the controlling app)
- when asked for a new ppp connection writes a request to the channel
    - ppp creates a device and asks other devices to be created/connected

Basically, if I have an entry in the config file that says

device: ppp

I get a simple PPP device, unattached

device: ppp: serial2

gets me a ppp device attached to a serial_ppp device opened on
/dev/ports/serial2

device: ppp: pppoe: tulip0

gets me a ppp device attached to a pppoe device that uses tulip0 as it's i/o
interface

Does that seem to make sense? More next week :)
